Pool and Spa Trends: Spools
Need a Quote? Chat with Us Below!
To be clear, the spools we’re talking about here are not to be confused with the cylinder upon which film or thread is wound. Rather, the word “spool” is a portmanteau, or blend, of “pool” and “spa.” Spools typically measure between 10 to 16 feet long and 6 to 8 feet wide. Roughly speaking, spools are approximately less than half the size of an in-ground, outdoor swimming pool and twice the length of a spa. Many homeowners prefer spools because they create an intimate atmosphere relative to pools or even spas.
Another benefit of spools is their inexpensiveness relative to in-ground swimming pools. For one, a spool doesn’t require as much digging and construction as a pool would. Moreover, spools are easier to clean and can be enjoyed year round regardless of the outside weather. In short, a spool is an ideal option for people who want both a pool and a spa, but can’t afford both and/or have the space to make them fit.
